Hi Werner,

this is not up to me, really, since the database drivers all use
mxDateTime. Also the Python Database API Specification
(http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0249.html) still recommends
eginix' package:

   "The preferred object types for the date/time objects are those
   defined in the mxDateTime package. It provides all necessary
   constructors and methods both at Python and C level."
